I am daily driving a ThinkPad
+ L440 made in 2013, its keyboard feels like heaven, definitely the best keyboard I have
+ ever used my hands just glide over it. It is durable as hell, I have dropped this thing a
+ few times no dents or scratches, I know it has a roll cage in it so this laptop will last
+ me forever. I have 8GB of RAM in this laptop
+ which I will upgrade at some point and im using a I5-4200M CPU. Overall it is an amazing
+ laptop and I believe I can use this laptop for the rest of my life.
Linux distro
+ I use arch, mainly because I am making my own work environment and I can pick what
+ applications I want to install instead of some linux distro that does it for me, the
+ beauty of Arch Linux is that you're held responsible nothing happens unless you let it
+ happen. There is a learning curve but when you break it, it is more than worth it for
+ the amount of freedom you get from Arch.
+
+
Web browser
+ For my web browser is librewolf the only browser that
+ really cares about your privacy, whilst yes it is annoying being logged out of everything
+ each time I close it, small sacrifices need to be made for privacy and this is why password managers
+ exist I just log on in a matter of seconds. I don't use many extensions but the ones I do use are
+ ublock ,
+ KeePassXC ,
+ Dark reader.
+
+
IDE My IDE is Vim, it is a good all around program to use, it is fast to work with and is very
+ customizable which I love personally, I would recommend vim for anybody who wants a
+ terminal based text editor and to anybody who wants to get into programming or anybody
+ who is programming currently.
+
+
Password manager
+ I use KeePassXC for managing my passwords, I
+ used to use bitwarden but after a while I just thought I did not want my passwords in
+ somebody else's server so I switched to KeePassXC because it is offline, I use syncthing
+ to sync all my passwords from my laptop to my phone.
+
+
File manager
+ For my file manager, I use Ranger.
+ The main reason I use Ranger is because it uses Vim keybinds,
+ which I love. I first tested it out to see if it was any good, and after using it for about a
+ day, I decided to fully switch over to it, and it is a good file manager. I would suggest it to
+ anybody who likes the vim keybinds.
+
Status bar
+ Polybar
+ is the software that I use for my status bar because it is very customizable and it has all
+ the features I look for in a status bar, it it also has a clean and modern look by
+ deafult. Sometimes I just mess around with my polybar and see what looks the best.
+
+
App launcher
+ I use rofi for my app launcher because
+ it is customizable and easy to use, it also comes with a bunch of default options which
+ I sometimes use as a template for my rofi configs.
+
+
Xorg or Wayland?
+ I like Wayland; it is smooth and modern. But I do not think it is fully there yet, so for
+ now I am staaying with Xorg, because it just works and I have no issues with it. In the future,
+ in about a year, I will switch to Wayland because it is more modern, but for now, Xorg is my go-to.
